Hi,
I have a TileList with thumbnail images. Under each thumbnail images I display the name of the image. I want to build rename functionality. So under the TileList is a "Rename selected image" button.
When this button is clicked, I would like to change the state of the itemRenderer component. The label underneath the image will change into a TextInput so that the user can type a new name. This is much like the Windows rename file functionality.
How can I access the itemRenderer of the selected image? How can I make it happen that it listens to the click event of the Rename button?
Some code:
<mx:TileList id="imageTileList" width="100%" height="100%" doubleClickEnabled="true"
itemsChangeEffect="{tileListEffect}" dataProvider="{images}"
keyDown="{tileListKeyDownHandler(event)}"
itemRenderer="com.n200.components.htmlElement.ImageTile"
columnWidth="128" rowHeight="128" itemDoubleClick="{insertImage()}"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="auto" />
<mx:LinkButton label="Rename selected image" labelPlacement="left"
enabled="{imageTileList.selectedIndex>0}"
styleName="rename24" click="{renameSelectedImage()}" />
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function renameSelectedImage():void
{
// Need to access itemRenderer of selected image here
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
The itemRenderer is just a mx:VBox with an mx:Image and a mx:Text. In there is another mx:State where the mx:Text changes into a mx:TextInput:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="rename">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{imageName}" />
<mx:AddChild>
<mx:TextInput id="newName" text="{originalName}" keyDown="{textInputKeyDownHandler(event)}"
width="100%" focusOut="{commit()}" focusThickness="0" />
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
<enterComponents:P200Image source="{imgFunction?imgFunction.fileId:null}" width="82" height="82" verticalAlign="bottom" stretch="true" />
<mx:Text id="imageName" text="{imgFunction.name}" selectable="false" truncateToFit="true"
textAlign="center" width="82" toolTip="{imgFunction.name}" />
